Spurs fielding trade calls for Parker

[TJastal]

If you got Casspi and 7, you'd have a ~ 12million dollar trade exception, and then could use that to get another player. It'd have to be a salary dump of sorts, but a trade would involve that trade exception aswell.

yummy

Casspi
7th pick
trade exception to fill other gaps
open up spot for G. Hill in starting lineup

Please, god let this happen.....I promise I'll be good from now on.

[joshdaboss]

Casspi just turned 23 today. There's no way he can be worse than 31 year old Jefferson. He's 2 inches taller @ 6'9", younger, more athletic and always hustles and rebounds the basketball. He'd be absolutely perfect starting next to Manu & George Hill in the starting lineup.

Jefferson is twice... three times the player Casspi is. It's ridiculous to even compare them. And he isn't even close to as athletic as Jefferson is. Give me some of what you're smoking. As far as hustling, I can get some players from the YMCA who always hustle, talent wins... Casspi lacks it.

[DesignatedT]

and then maybe we can somehow bring back Roger Mason and Ian Mahinmi to fill the gaps....

[MRBLAIREB.]

We have to get a BIG out of any deal RIGHT??????

[DesignatedT]

If Tony goes you better

1. Get rid of RJ as well
2. Get a PG in return
3. Get Big.

If all of those 3 don't happen then I would rather keep him.

[joshdaboss]

I don't really see the need for a big man. Sure, it would be great to get a 20/10 guy, but guess what? Those guys aren't available. The best big guy that's available is Oden and who knows what the is going on with that. Duncan/Splitter/Blair/Bonner rotation is fine. They need a perimeter stopper. Hill can't be guarding guys like Durant when he's 6'2".

Parker for Casspi + 7th pick would rank one of the worst deals ever made in NBA history.. equalling or surpassing the Gasol to LA deal for peanuts and chump change. Only idiots will endorse such a moronic deal.

[DesignatedT]

Duncan/Splitter/Blair/Bonner rotation is fine.

no it's not.

[024]

getting casspi would be pretty nice. his potential is being squandered on the kings and casspi could benefit from some veteran influence.

[joshdaboss]

no it's not.

It was good for the best record in the West.

[TJastal]

Sweet... the Spurs could get a has-been like Baron Davis.

Jordan seems to be looking to dump as many contracts as possible. I'd take T squared + Pryzbilla (combined 13m in salary) if it meant never seeing Matt Bonner & Dejuan Blair play another minute together (or apart).

[MRBLAIREB.]

include Jason thomson draft Montiejunas looks better

[DesignatedT]

It was good for the best record in the West.

and a first round exit...

[joshdaboss]

and a first round exit...

Could have sworn I didn't see Manu suit up for game 1...

I agree...if the Spurs make a trade, they'll get a lot more than that.

One way or another, there's a lot more going on here than we're seeing.

Oh gimme a f'ing break. Even if you don't view this is a good move for the present (which I would question) this would absolutely be a great move for the future.

[joshdaboss]

It wouldn't surprise me 1 bit to see Holt's cheap ass abandon ship right now and take 10 cents on the dollar. If he does, he's a spineless good-for-nothing ing pussy.

[Spursfanfromafar]

That is certainly the hope. If the Spurs have decided to give up Parker, they better get a good shot blocking PF or a good defensive SF with decent scoring ability in return AND hopefully manage to dump Richard Jefferson as well.

If the idea is merely to get a chance to draft high, then I think it will be a major major blunder.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Oh gimme a f'ing break. Even if you don't view this is a good move for the present (which I would question) this would absolutely be a great move for the future.

yeah, right. Dumping the youngest member of your experienced and winningest three-core and getting a 11.76 PER SF whose only USP is that he is a rootable and upstanding representative of a religious community ..is what is a great move for the future. Nonsense.

So why are you ing about getting Casspi who @ 6'9" would be great at defending those big forwards?

[TJastal]

What are you babbling about?

[Ditty]

That 7th pick doesn't make me happy, the only player worth taking after Williams, and Irving is Kanter. If we could use it to get the 9th and 19th pick from Charlotte, so they know they can for sure get Leonard, and Spurs use the 9th pick to get a big man(Bisymbo or who of the Morris twins), and 19th on a Small Forward(Tobias Harris or Chris Singleton).Maybe throw in George Hill or Blair to move up if we would acquire the 19th pick?

I would prefer the Spurs get Thompson also and use the trade exception on Devin Harris, and use the Summer to decide what to do with RJ, or make him back up Omri.

[joshdaboss]

So why are you ing about getting Casspi who @ 6'9" would be great at defending those big forwards?

Because he's not a great defender. He's not a great anything. He's merely a serviceable NBA player. We already have a good NBA player starting at SF, we don't need serviceable.

[TJastal]

Jefferson is twice... three times the player Casspi is. It's ridiculous to even compare them. And he isn't even close to as athletic as Jefferson is. Give me some of what you're smoking. As far as hustling, I can get some players from the YMCA who always hustle, talent wins... Casspi lacks it.

LMAO

You're takes continue to get worse each week. Next you'll be telling us Matt Bonner is better than Dirk Nowitszki.

[TJastal]

Because he's not a great defender. He's not a great anything. He's merely a serviceable NBA player. We already have a good NBA player starting at SF, we don't need serviceable.

He just finished his 2nd year in the league, numbnutz. He has plenty of room to grow. He'd be perfect to start building a foundation with, along with Hill & Tiago.
